A couple months ago when I went to go ride my horse he was really lame. There was no heat and we couldn’t find any swelling (but we didn’t see it the second time either until the vet pointed it out) but I hosed it off with some cold water and turned him back out. The next day he seemed a lot better and the next day he was fine. About a month later the same thing happened but he did not get better in 3 days like before. We called the vet and he said it was arthritis because while there was still no heat there was some swelling. He gave us some medicine to start adding to his food and said he would be better in about a week. He said he would be fine for just walk/trot/canter but no jumping. It has been three weeks and it’s not at all better.
Today the farrier came out to trim his feet and said he had a hoof abscess that had been there for about a month (about when he went lame the second time) and had already popped. He said to just turn him out and give it time to heal. Like the vet he said after it was healed he would be fine for walk/trot/canter but no jumping.
First of all could the hoof abscess have caused the swollen leg or is it two separate problems? and secondly from the research I have done on hoof abscesses it seems like he would be fine to jump once it has healed, would it?
There was no heat but the swelling was around the blood vein to the inside of the hock. Like on the leg that is ok you can see the vein sticking out but on the one that is swollen you can’t.

I know that I am supposed to take into consideration the specific dosha of the patient, but not this time.

The assignment asks for a specific "spice blend" that I would I make as a remedy for EACH the above health concerns (a blend that should help most patients) and other blends/remedies that I can think of, maybe ones for weight loss, female discomfort, tiredness? (Need approx. 10 conditions and 10 spice blends for healing the specific condition.)

These spice blends need to be able to be used on either raw or cooked foods, as a tasty enhancement with medicinal properties. Each spice blend should be able to be just added to the food and eaten as is. The spice blends don’t have to be complicated, and it would be most ideal if the spices used are not too difficult to obtain in case I have to present one or two as samples.

Before you guys say take him to the Vet I already did. He was clipped by a car yesterday morning and I took him to the vet as soon as I could. The doc said he’s in pretty good condition considering he was HBC and he has two tiny fractures in his pelvis area, there is potential for him to develop arthritis as he gets older but that’s another hump to pass when it comes.

Well the doc drugged him up pretty good and told us to keep him in his crate for min of 2 weeks so he can heal. And then six weeks on a leash. Well last night he woke up around 1:30 and started quietly whimpering I started crying of course and laid with him in front of his cage for about a half hour petting him before going back to sleep.

This morning I woke up got him outside brought him back and gave him his pain pill with his food he ate it. But every so often I hear him whimpering and I don’t know what to do for my baby. Is he crying because he is in pain, even with the pain killer or is he crying because he is stuck in his cage, or both?
